  Spiritual writer Thomas Merton is the most influential American Catholic author of the twentieth century. Despite appearances to the contrary, in 1966 he was a troubled, lonely monk. Only when the suffering Merton fell madly in love with a student nurse, a forbidden, erotic affair condemned by the Catholic Church, would he discover whether his devotion to God was stronger than his dedication to the woman he called "a miracle in my life." Truly an inspirational story based on Merton's personal journals, new information and sources such as fellow monks, Beneath the Mask of Holiness presents a unique portrayal of the famous man, one never revealed in its entirety before.

  The real guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond. 
  I’m assuming you’ve picked up this book because you’re either curious about having kids, you’re currently up the duff, or you’re stumbling through the early days of parenthood with a mattress-sized sanitary towel between your legs wondering what the hell has just happened. That, or you’re killing time in WHSmith, waiting for your flight to Ibiza. You lucky bastard. 
  Either way, this book is your pregnancy, birth and postpartum BFF. 
  Welcome to Motherhood, Bitches is your one-stop, no-filter guide to everything from swollen vulvas and dinner-plate areolas; from shitting in labour to the horror of postpartum haemorrhoids; from mindless sleep deprivation to salvaging a sex life when your pelvic floor has hit the floor. But mainly, it’s a reassuring reminder that feeling slightly (or shockingly) out of control with a newborn baby human is entirely normal…we promise. 
  Victoria Emes, in her best-selling autobiography, shares her experiences of childbirth, parenting, and the impact on her marriage. With humour and care, she navigates the reader through the realities of family life and the importance of maintaining health and fitness. 
  For fans of Laura Belbin (No Shame)

  After the great victory in the famous tank battle at Cambrai in 1917 the church bells, having been silent for three years, rang out joyously all over Britain  But within ten days triumph turned to disaster.  How did this hapPen & why?William Moore, a distinguished First World War historian, attempts to explain what went wrong.  All the advantages gained were thrown away; thousands of British troops were captured and hundreds of guns were lost.  Seventy years after these events Mr Moore has studied the evidence (much of it previously unpublished) contained in the inevitable enquiry that followed the disaster and he seeks to answer a number of questions.  Was Field-Marshal Haig really as dour as he has been portrayed or was he a reckless gambler and was General Byng, whose troops and guns were captured, really a brilliant planner or a haughty aristocrat dedicated to proving that cavalry still had a place on the battlefield?  And why were they both obsessed with capturing Bourlon Ridge on which stood the sinister Bourlon Wood?  A Highland Division, a Welsh Brigade, a Yorkshire Division (twice), the Guards, Ulstermen, Lancashire-men, Londoners and Midlanders- all were drawn into the maelstrom in an attempt to consolidate the Cambrai victory  They failed.  It was left to the Canadians to carry the Bourlon position in one of the finest feats of arms of the Great War.  The British are always reputed to take a perverce interest in their own military blunders.  This strange episode is one that most people have been happy to forget.  All those involved in hight places sought to make excuses; some indulged in a profound exercise of duplicity implying that the soldiers themselves were to blame.  Mr Moor's book throws new light on a dark episode in British Military History.
